Building Strengthening and Structural repair

What is Building Strengthing

The need to improve the ability of an existing building to withstand seismic forces arises usually from the evidence of damage and poor behaviour during a recent earthquake, the design of the building didn't apperciate all the factors required by code, adding some extra stories, change of the load on the building due to use change of the building

Approach: Column jacketing, adding steel braces and new shear walls to an existing building are common strengthening methods used by practical engineers to increase the performance level of an existing building

esolution design team determine the most effective strengthening method among the available techniques in the market

Preliminary assessment

esolution design team run a check on the building to assest the required repairs in the building includes all the required factors required by the code and local authorities then produces a report on the required repair in building for further evaluation by the owner

Execution

once the owner agree the repair is required , esolution design team launches the final design and required detailing with the required repair material for the project to be excuted
